Career Course Question

by drisnya . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

I don’t want to take up too much time but I have to consider what it is I want to do when I grow up.

I was recently laid off. I have desktop hardware support and a bit of network support experience and I’m not a big fan of either aspect. I’d rather dive head first into a wood chipper than do desktop hardware support any longer.

I took a course in “C” a few years ago and loved it but I didn’t continue it. The question I have is twofold: Programming or Web?

I’ve started messing with Python but I’m wondering if I should pursue further some HTML (web) development?

If Web…I was told to acquire skills in HTML and CSS then work with a WYSIWYG app like Joomla, for example…

If programming, is there a future learning Python? Is Python a good start and does it make someone marketable? What other languages do you build on after this?

Any advice/feedback is appreciated.
